I live in Michigan, should I dig up in fall, store over winter and replant in the spring? If so what is the best way to store rhizomes until spring planting? When is the best time to dig up hops?

You can try this link. I have bought (finished0 hops from them. Their prices are better than Park Seeds. One word though: Some of these places run out of rhizomes very quickly and other will not ship after April. So it will be luck of the draw: https://commerce.peak.org/vh/f/freshops.com/cgibin/shopper.cgi?search=action&category=RHIZ&keywords=all&template=Templates/rhizomes_storebuilder.html In case the link doesn't work, try freshops.com O.K.

They carried 4 different ones: Northern, Cascades, Newport, and I can't remember the 4th. The reason I said "carried" is: When I just visited their web site to post a link, they are not showing any hops now. When I ordered them, the guy who answered the phone said thy didn't carry them. When I gave him the number, he said "Oh! They must be new!". Try like Brad Smith said and Google "hop rhizomes". I bought some rhizomes from Park Seed Co.
